WHAT IS TUBERCIHLOSIS ? .f. .|? ?|< ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J? ?J. ?J? .J* ?J. g|a .J? ?I? t|| Tuberculosis or consumption, known also as "phthisis," ia a treach erous disease caused by tho growth in the body of millions of little rod shaped gonna called "tubercle bacil li," because as they multiply they produce small lumps of "tubercles." The germs are really tiny plant-like parasites, so small that they must bo magnified hundreds of times under a powerful microscope before one can see them at all. Being a parasite, tho gorm of tu berculosis, Uko the mistletoe or fun gus growth, must live by taking Ufo from something else, and on this ac count it lives in the body of human beings or animals better than any where else, in the eye, the skin, the knee or the spine, and most frequent ly in tho lungs, and the other organs of breathing. Outside of the body, the germs of tuberculosis may be easily killed, if they are exposed to direct sunlight for a few hours. Moist heat at 143 degrees P., boiling water, or strong alkaline soaps, washing soda aud similar household cleansing solutl ms will also kill them. If undisturbed, thc germs of tuberculosis may live outside of the body in warm, moist, dark places, such as corners of rooms cMid hallways, for months or even years. Becauso of the careless habits of people who have consumption and others, the germs of the disease are everywhere. Every time a person who has the bacilli in his sputum spits on tho floor, sidewalk or in any other exposed place, the germs by the billions may become dry, and when stirred up by a broom or current of air may be inhaled by the chance passer. A speck of dust, such as one sees in the sunlight, may be the rest ing place of hundreds of these liny germs. On this account nearly every body at some time or other breathes in the living germs of tuberculosis. Why, then, doesn't every one dl? of tuberculosis? Becauso the germs of tuberculosis In tho body cannot grow, unies sthey find certain tissues j that are weak, flabby, or, as lt ls bet- | ter called, "non-resistant." Every one bas a certain normal resistance I to tuberculosis. If this resistance is lowered for any reason, the germs, which are almost always present In the body, will quickly lind some tis sue on which they can grow, and thus the disease is started. It takes more than the presence of the germ In the body to cause tuberculosis. It needs also a lowerred vitality that will give the germ a chanco to grow. It is like tho seed and the soil. The scaly par asite that ruins a rose bush fre quently comes from a poorly nour ished soil. Tho tubercle bacillus is the seed; the body is the soil. If the soil is allowed to lose its normal and natural fertility, the seed will produce disease. If the soil is kept up to its full strength, this parasite seed cannot grow, and no tuberculo sis will develop. Once the germs begin to grow in the body, they produce injury to it in two ways: (1) They destroy tissues. The de structoin in the lung, for example, may amount to a very small spot, or it may be a large cavity, and not in frequently an entire lung. The soon er the disease is discovered, tho smaller will be the amount of tissue destroyed, as a general rule (2) Tho growing germ, while it destroys thc body tissues upon which it lives, also producos certain poisons or toxins, which, in turn, causo most of the symptoms of tho disease. Thus, while tho germs may bo activo in the lungs, the poison which they throw off goes through the entire system. The commonest early symptoms of consumption are: (1) Persistent cough or cold last ing a month or longer; (2) Eoss of weight and appetite; (3) Run-down feeling; (4) Afternoon temperature; (5) Night sweats; and (6) Spitting of blood or streaks of blood in the sputum. , The presence of any of tl?ese symp toms should lead one to consult a physician at once. Tuberculosis can be cured if it is discovered la time. It costs little to be examined and cured. It is very expensive to delay and die.

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS m, EVERYWHERE jg?S SOUTHERN CARRIED 17,000,000 Passengers, of Wimm Four Received Fatal Injuries. Washington, July 21.-Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern RallVay Company, said to-day: "During thc fiscal year ended June 80, 1916? Southern Railway Company carried nearly 17,000,000 passengers, among whom there were four fatal injuries; two in a rear-end collis ion at Salisbury, N. C., on November 24, 1915, due to a human failure, the disgrace of which tho manage ment feels keenly; on? at James town, N. C., on March 19, 1910, when a truck failed under a freight car passing a passenger train on double track, causing damage to the passen ger train; and one at Cltlco, Tenn., on May 8, 1916, when a passenger, In violation of the rules made for his safety, was leaning out from tho steps of a passenger car and was struck by the truss of a bridge. "lt may be reported also that, despite tho greatly Increased volume of business done this past year as compared with tho previous year, there was a decrease of fifteen fatal Injuries to employees. While this record ls far from perfection, the management 1B encouraged to believe that its earnest and organized effort to promote the safety of raliway travel and to reduce the risk of cas ualty In railroad employment is showing results." A Word to Dad About tho Roys. (W. W. Carroll, In Progressive Farmer.) A friend and comrade, facing sure death from an insidious disease, des pairingly asked me, "What can I do to make my boys content, to stay on tho farm with their mother after I am gone ?" I undertook to answer tho ques tion by teaching the boys the use of various tools in budding and graft ing, giving them scions a- i buds, ir structing them from time to time in practical horticulture, Ailing them with the love for growing things just for the pure joy of seeing things grow and fructify. The father en couraged them by letting them have the revenue, after ' deducting legiti mate expenses. They were permit ted to have guns, dogs, Ashing boats. They were instructed by tho father from his own wonderful experience in woodcraft and hunting lore. Then my friend died. The boys are with their widowed mother, all living lovingly together. The home has been rebuilt; the grounds are rich with fruits and or namentals and fine nut trees; a pe can orchard ls just coming into bear ing. 'Farm crops are diversified. A small nursery brings In a steady rev enue. They all enjoy a good auto mobile. Theirs is a real home. If the old cotton-and-corn routine had been left to these boys, they would have "gone to town." Fathers, don't walt till you are about to dio to give the boys a living chance. Lax-Fos, A Mild, Effective Laxativa ft Livor Tonic Does Not Gripe nor Disturb tho Stomach.

(Anderson Mail, July 27.) Forrest Pruitt returned yesterday from a trip to his farm in South Georgia. Ho left Anderson last Thursday and made the trip In his auto. He reports that practically all the bridges south of Macon were washed away, and that he had to travel long distances out of the way around the headwaters of streams to get anywhere at all. Mr. Pruitt says the prospect for crops in that section is decidedly gloomy, between excessive rains and the boll weevil. Gallon Case Dismissed. Charleston, July 27.-Judge H. A. M.

TYPHOID AND MAL AHI A Cause an Economic Loss of $o:?8, 234,880 Annually in V. S. A Washington dispatch says: Typhoid and malaria cause an eco nomic loss of $928,234,880 in the United States each year, according to estimates given the Senate by Chair man Ransdell, of the Senate commit tee on public health, in an address on "Rural Health-America's First Duty." "Over $900,000,000 lost every year," exclaimed the Senator. "A sum which is sufficient to put our country into a state of preparedness equal to that of any nation In the world, enough money to glvo us the largest navy afloat and tho most effi cient army which the world has ever seen, ls annually offered up as a sacrifice to two diseases which are entirely preventable. Enough money to pay the annual expenses of every college student in the United States ls absolutely thrown away every year." Senator Ransdell estimated the an nual loss from typhoid fever at $271,932,880, and from malaria at $694,904,750, the total per capita loss being $9.46. By comparative estimate, it was shown that tho United States govern ment appropriated $5,016,17!) for In vestigation and prevention of dis eases of animal and plant life and only $1,917,566 for Investigation and prevention of diseases of man.

The office of public roads of the Agriculture De partment announced that 90 per cent of the fees were spent on county and .State roads. The number of vehicles increased 734,325. Only 48,000 motors were registered in 1906. Number of motor vehicles aver aged one registration for every 4 4 persons in tho United States. Iowa led with one to 16; Alabama bad one to every 200.

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR BILLS. Physicians Give Free Advice By Which Parents May Profit. It's a matter of general interest just now 'how one's physical condi tion can he got livto sihape to best receive tho benefits of the summer season. Especially ls this true of the children. They have becomo run-down by a winter of unnatural manner of living because of Ill-con sidered food arnd much time spent indoors. Spring comes with its sun shine, its fresh vegetables and all else invigorating, but the children are in no condition to receive na ture's remedies. M'a ny parents call tn the family physician. Many other parents take n<dvantage of what t'he physician told them wflien he was first called in con sultation. All good family physi cians say: "Oive the children Cas toria." Healthy parents know this remedy of old, for they took it them selves as children. It was more than thirty years ago that Cnstorla made a place for Itself in the household, lt bore the signature of Charles H. Fletcher When, ns it does to-day. The signature ls its guarantee, which is accepted in thousands of homes where there are children. .Much is printed nowadays about big -'am Hies. Dr. Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., is the father of one of these m u ch-read-about families. Here is what he says: "As the father of 13 children, I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside Prom my own family experience I have, in my years of practice, found Castor ia a popular and efficient remedy in al most every home." Charles H. Fletcher has received hundreds of letters from prominent physicians who have tho sonne esteem for Cnstoria that Dr. McCrann has. Not only do t'heso physicians say they use Castoria in their own fami lies, but they prescribe it for t'heir patients. First of all lt is a vegeta ble preparation which assimilates the food and regulates the si o mach and bowels. After eating comes sleeping, and Castoria looks out for that too. It allays feverhahness ami prevents loss of sleep, and thia abso lutely without tho uso of opium, morphine or other baneful narcotic. 'Medical Journals are reluctant to discuss proprietary medicines. Hali's Journal of Health, however, says: ' "Our duty is to oxpose danger and record the means for advancing health. The day for poisoning Inno cent children through greed or Igno rance ought to end. To our knowl edge Castoria ls a remedy which pro duces composure and health by reg ulating the system, not hy stupefying it, and our readers are entitled to the information."-Adv. 4?
